How it works

Three steps to a garden you can plant.

No design skills, no plant knowledge. Just your phone and the garden you already have.

Snap or upload

A photo is all it takes

One photo of your whole garden or a single border, straight from your phone. Big garden? Do it bed by bed.

Remove & restyle

Choose what stays and the look

Brush out what you don't want to keep, then pick a style — cottage, low-maintenance, shady, drought-tolerant or pollinator.

Design & plan

Get the picture and the plan

A photorealistic redesign of your garden, plus a planting plan listing every plant, how many, and exactly where it goes.

Garden styles

Pick a feeling. We'll plant it.

Each style is a distinct palette of UK plants, chosen for your light and soil and applied to your own photo.

Cottage garden style
Sun · colour all summer

Cottage

Romantic, billowing borders packed with colour and scent.

Low-maintenance garden style
Easy care

Low-maintenance

Structure, evergreens and grasses that look after themselves.

Shady garden style
Shade · dry shade

Shady

Lush planting for shade — including dry shade under trees.

Drought-tolerant garden style
Full sun · low water

Drought-tolerant

Mediterranean, gravel-garden planting for hot, dry spots.

Pollinator & wildlife garden style
Bees & butterflies

Pollinator & wildlife

Nectar-rich borders that buzz from spring to autumn.

Plus a special mode: turn a tired lawn into a wildflower meadow. Style previews are illustrative — the real magic is your chosen palette applied to your garden.

Questions

Good to know.

Everything people ask before their first design.

What is Garden Design App?

Garden Design App is an online tool that turns a photo of your garden into a photorealistic redesign and a real planting plan. You upload a photo, choose a style, and get back an image of your garden replanted — plus a buy-list of UK plants with quantities and positions, so you can actually create it.

How does the AI garden design work?

Three steps. Snap or upload a photo of your garden or a single border. Brush out anything you don't want to keep and pick a style. We then generate a photorealistic redesign that keeps your fences, paths and trees where they are, alongside a planting plan that lists every plant, how many, and where it goes.

Are the plants real — can I actually buy and plant them?

Yes. Every design comes with a planting plan of real, available UK plants, with quantities, spacing and a month-by-month flowering guide. The plans are built on real horticultural data and shaped by a professional gardener — not generic AI guesses — so the garden in the picture is a garden you can genuinely plant.

What garden styles can I choose from?

Five to start: cottage, low-maintenance, shady (including dry shade under trees), drought-tolerant Mediterranean, and pollinator and wildlife. There's also a special mode that turns a tired lawn into a wildflower meadow.

Do I need a special photo or camera?

No — a normal phone photo is perfect. Photograph your whole garden if it's small and simple, or one border at a time for larger or more complex gardens, where each bed has its own light and soil.

Is the first design really free, and what does it cost after?

Your first design is genuinely free, with no card required. After that, plans are expected to start around £7 a month for regular use — final launch pricing is being confirmed.

Who's behind it?

It's built by Josh Hellicar, a professional gardener, combining real horticultural knowledge with AI image generation. The aim is simple: garden design that looks beautiful and is genuinely plantable — something the generic AI tools don't do.

Your garden is one photo away.
